become greater than amma
24 feb, bharata yatra 2008
washim, vidharbha, maharashtra.
during arati, at the end of the programme in washim, a girl jumped from the stage and joined the arati line, did the arati courageously pushing a lady who is supposed to do it. after waving it few times, she jumped back on to the stage. amma was looking and smiling at her innocence.
later i asked her why did she do that? what prompted her to do the arati?
she is sneh priyanka sharma, said that her foot were trembling, heart were longing to do the arati. so she jumped. she didn’t knew that the arati is done only by selected volunteers.
even though this marwadi girl is meeting amma for the first time, she felt so much shakti is there in amma. this 14 yr old wants to join amma’s ashram. seeked amma’s blessings. do you know what she said to amma?
“amma se bada hone ka kuch ashirwad liya” [i want to become greater than amma.]
she told me about what she had said to Amma, and she added, “even if i don’t become greater, i can become like amma at least.”
What a true and innocent feeling the courageous girl showed up. Keep it up
Here comes another Swamini.
There’s room for more!
Oh! this is what is called attitude of innocense!!! she is correct. we should have such a feeling that we have to be greater than AMMA only then will we get atleast some where closer to what AMMA is.Only this attitude of innocense can bring us victory. its nice to know that a 14 yr old girl has relalised AMMA’S shakthi in just one glimse where even after so many visits to amma many of us fail to realise.JAI KALIMA!!!
Simply beautiful 🙂 Jai Maa
I don’t know…I’d have been totally upset if the girl had done that when i was doing my arati. Doing arati for AMMA is very precious for everyone. This somehow reminds me of the “pushing” and “pulling” for AMMA and things of the world.
